Music Therapy Clinic celebrates 25th annual concert

April 5, 2004

KALAMAZOO--The Music Therapy Clinic at Western Michigan University
presents a free concert Monday, April 12, at 7 p.m. in the Dalton
Center Multimedia Room.

The 25th annual concert features participants in the music
therapy program and their student therapists. Over the years
the concert has become a joyous celebration of achievement and
an evening of affirmation for the individuals, groups, families,
and caregivers who have participated in Music Therapy services
throughout the semester. Performers represent all ages and have
a wide variety of physical, cognitive, and/or emotional challenges.

The evening's events, which also include a reception following
the program, are sponsored by the Music Therapy Clinic, which
operates under the auspices of the School of Music. Services
are provided for residents of Kalamazoo and surrounding areas
based on self-referral or referrals made by family members, educators,
or health professionals. Under the direct supervision of a board-certified
music therapist, student clinicians use music-based interventions
to target both musical and non-musical goals.
